The Perseid meteor peaks each year on August 12th. Tonight is not the greatest time to see the shower, because there happens to be a full moon this year, but you might still be able to see a few just after dark and just before dawn.

Our nights are cool now and frequently are foggy. I'm hoping I can see them.
